    I think Paul, Weiss may have held an initial batch of interviews and made Spring and/or Summer VS offers from that batch. Perhaps they didn’t fill all their VS slots for the Summer VS from that initial batch, so now they are beginning to interview a new batch of candidates for the Summer VS. To...

    I felt this exact way for Paul, Weiss, which was my first interview ever. It was my first time interacting with and speaking to a senior partner in person!! After the interview, I was overthinking everything I had said and nitpicked at almost every possible point. I had convinced myself I was...

    Yeah of course! Once I get through the end of this cycle, I will post a breakdown of my applications and interviews. As it is my first cycle, I can only go based off of my experience this time around. I have a few firms left to hear back from! 🙂

    A few of us got sent online assesment invites yesterday, although there may be further batches to come. I guess they are dealing with Spring VS applicants first and Summer VS (1 & 2) afterwards? I applied for all 3 because I’m indecisive. 😂

    They held all their interviews over the past 2-3 weeks for Spring and Summer VS and made VS offers on Monday/Tuesday this week. 😕🙁

    I think it depends on how many people take up their VS offers with the firm initially. If a firm has 20 VS places, but only 15 people accept their VS offers, they might have 5 more places to give out, in which case it’s very likely that you can get offered a VS (if you are on the waitlist). I...

    Nah not at all man! They most likely will send them in batches and/or might be prioritising Spring VS first. Don’t assume PFO just yet! Best of luck for SH. 🙂

    It’s hard to know for sure what practice group you would want to qualify into prior to commencing a TC, as it’s very possible you gain experience in a completely different seat and change your mind mid-way through your TC. I think it’s important to keep an open mind going into a TC and forming...

    I think AS normally only get back to people that are successful in moving to the next stage of the process. After a while they send out the automated PFO’s to everyone else. For example, I applied to the AstraZeneca and Covington AS Mentoring Scheme. A lot of people on this forum hadn’t heard...

    I think BCLP is also pretty good at Competition Law, M&A, Banking & Finance, Insurance and Dispute Resolution. I wrote about Competition, M&A and Dispute Resolution in my application (alongside Real Estate). It’s worthwhile looking at Chambers & Partners to see which practice areas BCLP is...

    I think you normally have to download the application before you submit it because I don’t think CVMailUK gives the option to review applications once they have been submitted. I had to do this for my Paul Hastings application. 🥲
